Carleen Anderson, Julian Joseph Trio

One of America’s most daring creative pioneers makes a welcome return to Brighton in a specially curated performance responding to this year’s Festival themes.

All the Animals is a collection of animal stories drawn from throughout Anderson’s career. Dogs, horses, whales, birds, insects, cows, rabbits, tigers and snakes have careened through her work for decades, used to represent empathy, danger, joy or confusion, or as creatures drawn directly from real life. For All the Animals, Anderson brings together both the real and the fictional for an evening of new and old music by a truly singular artist.
